Four millennia ago--long before today's technology was available--Job quoted God's claim that the Pleiades' stars don't merely appear gravitationally bound but actually are: “Can you bind the chains of the Pleiades?" Job 38:31

Astronomers finally were able to confirm that claim in the 20th Century.

Associated with it was another claim, that the stars in Orion's cord also are bound. And that claim also was confirmed.

They like to hide those pet photos in the hot links!...

They're the frosting on the cake. If not for them, all my posts to your threads would look downright nonsensical.

Post #23 has a suggestion. I did a small amount of consulting for the Webb Space Telescope project, but neither you nor I can afford one for ourselves!

For me, the moon is the easiest to ID if I don’t get mixed up, but maybe it is just me:)

I have a Newtonian with a 6 inch mirror.

The first image I was able to see was The Ring Nebula.

It was amazing.
